Weihua Guan develops portable devices and sensors for detecting genetic material (such as viral RNA and DNA) outside of traditional labs, enabling rapid diagnostics at the point of care. The work combines microfluidics, nanopore sensing, and DNA amplification methods (like RT-PCR and LAMP) with machine learning to detect pathogens including HIV, HCV, monkeypox, and respiratory viruses. Applications range from self-testing devices to wastewater-based disease surveillance.
